Our priorities

Vision & Mission

Our vision & goals

Our vision

  • Healthy children who benefit from improved sanitation and clean drinking water in their schools and do not have to deal with preventable life-threatening diseases such as diarrhea and worm infections.
  • Breaking the cycle of disease caused by poor water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) to reduce school absenteeism.
  • Motivated school girls who do not have to miss classes during their menstrual cycle due to lack of proper hygiene facilities at school.
  • A decent learning environment and developmentally appropriate conditions for children overall.
  • Creating good hygiene practices as a lifestyle and empowering children as hygiene ambassadors.

Our approach

We are building sustainable sanitation systems that include a complete sanitation chain in which all five core elements are present and functioning, i.e. collection, emptying, transport, treatment and recycling.

Work in the field is carried out by local expertise together with professional government advisors or volunteers from abroad.

Our goals

  • Ensuring safe drinking water throughout the year by drilling deep water wells and pumping water pumps and water storage tanks.
  • Construction of hygienically safe sanitation/toilet facilities with handwashing services school by school.
  • Regular training and active participation of children and their communities to improve hygiene culture and awareness.
  • Protection of groundwater through environmentally friendly wastewater management and recycling.
  • Monitor and support the maintenance of sustainable service delivery.
Our why

Backstory

Have you ever wondered about the “sanitation” experiences of many children in rural Kenyan schools? I attended Mukuyu Primary School in Kitale in western Kenya, here is a small part of my story below:

School break, finally it’s time! I urgently need to go to the toilet, my stomach already hurts and my legs are pressed together so that nothing gets into my pants. Quickly to the toilet, but unfortunately also with the certainty that others are already on site in a queue. How can you stand it! And then the redemption. It’s finally my turn and I look skeptically into the toilet stall. It is teeming with fat maggots. Don’t make any false moves and hold your breath! The smell is acrid and my feet have no place to go without stepping in the feces of other classmates. I am looking for a reasonably free place to get my need done. There is no water to wash my hands and feet, so I quickly walk away from all the dirt and back to class.

This everyday situation plays out every day in the schools of Mukuyu, a village community in the town of Kitale in a rural region of western Kenya. The non-profit association “Hand of Progress e.V.” was founded in order to bring about lasting change to these miserable conditions in the region and to give the local people new perspectives. We would like to show and enable the residents and the school children new perspectives on the basis of Christian charity.

Do you have any questions?

Frequently asked questions.

Hand of Progress e.V. supports schools that do not yet have access to clean water, safe toilets, hygienic sanitation and hygiene education.

Access to clean water and toilets is a human right and we want this to be a normal part of daily life for all children everywhere.

Bibles are distributed only to children going from elementary school to secondary school. It is one of the reference books for the subject of Christian Religious Education (CRE), which is one of the compulsory examination subjects in Kenyan schools, but not all children can afford a Bible. In this way, Bibles create equal learning opportunities. In addition, students are encouraged to engage in the Word of God and trust God while working diligently in school.
